In her speech, Julia Hobsbawm will cover her core theme in the book, that of Social Health, and how to develop similar fitness and wellbeing strategies around information technology, social networks, and time management. She will also address the question of social mobility, and argue that the best lessons of the 'Old Boy Network' need to be brought into wider circulation, rather than to restrict the lessons and secrets of successful network-building.

Julia Hobsbawm is Hon Visiting Professor in Business Networking at the University of Suffolk in addition to being Hon Visiting Professor in Networking at Cass Business School, London. Awarded an OBE for services to Business in the Queen's Birthday Honours List in 2015, she has one of the most widely read and respected commentators and thinkers on what modern connectedness means in the workplace and wider society. This lecture, her first for University of Suffolk, coincides with the publication of her new book: Fully Connected: Surviving & Thriving in an Age of Overload.
